hey everyone this is steve from gamers nexus dotnet and this is your weekly game news recap fallout 4 came out on tuesday and just before that black ops 3 released on friday which was after our previous news recap was filmed so these two games effectively dominated the news and media cycle for the last week or so and to bring everyone up to speed on sales figures and other interesting financial metrics fallout 4 shipped 12 million units in its first day which Bethesda called a tremendous success and it broke records on steam for concurrent players that's players simultaneously online and playing fallout 4 with a new record of four hundred and seventy thousand active players simultaneously for Fallout 4 the game also generated 750 million dollars in revenue physically and digitally in its first 24 hours and for comparison black ops 3 which just released on friday was a 550 million dollar revenue generator in its first 72 hours that's the full weekend effectively and black ops 3 based on a previous title success is expected to surpass 1 billion dollars in revenue by the end of the year which is another massive financial success for Activision if that were to happen looking towards other shooters battlefield 4 which is a bit dated these days got an update from an even more dated game but one of my favorite FPS games of all time battlefield 2 so battlefield 4 will be getting the dragon Valley map in its legacy operations dlc this is slated for release later this year and dragon Valley will be available for free download to owners of battlefield 4 and this I best remember the music loading into dragon Valley but there are a lot of things to remember it's sort of a narrow map with a lot of vertical space for aerobatics and fighting and jets and things like that expanding on this the dice developers are looking toward battlefield 4 to expand that vertical element and hope to add more distance between the bounding box and the cloud layer in the game so that pilots can battle it out in a sort of more private setting where they won't really be seen as well by the players and that creates kind of a bigger feel a more volume as voluminous feel to the map this is free to PC later this year alongside the legacy operations DLC moving into a completely different genre we look to roller coaster tycoon world which has been delayed into early 2016 that's a quote from Atari early 2016 we don't know exactly when if it's quarter one or two and that was announced following its first beta weekend there's one more beta weekend planned for our ctw but following the first one the primary issues of concern that came up to Atari and the developers were primarily pertaining to the poor information convenience regarding coaster simulation the track layout and track editor was a little bit hard to use and players by and large requested that individual track components which are prefabs be added to the track editor so that they can more easily build and edit tracks and then even more over that understand why they fail where they fail things of that nature this is now I think they're on maybe the third set of developers it's it's been a couple developers now on rollercoaster tycoon world and Ataris been pushing it for a while but overall things are moving forward with the current group in a visio and the only really major issues that I've read about that we've looked into over the beta weekend would be memory leaks and optimization problems that were present in the first beta but this is all supposed to be resolved according to Atari by the 2016 launch legacy of the void also came out and starcraft 2 is sort of old news at this point i know everyone jokes dead game in the face of the MOBA blitz that has taken over the what's left of the strategy space in terms of gaming but blizzard plans to launch a new series following legacy of the void so this is not end of the starcraft series and certainly not the end of the starcraft 2 build in its current iteration Blizzard plans to release the series called Nova covert ops which are missions that expand the game's single-player and maybe more we're not sure yet but definitely single player as first release is planned for spring 2016 this was announced at blizzcon which just happened so that is all for this game news recap check out the hardware news recap coming up shortly for more hardware news in the similar format and as always subscribe if you like this stuff hit us up on patreon if you want to support us i'll see you all next time
